Pretty much what the title says. I want some ideas on what smart home devices are good and play nicely with the Home assistant. I know Tuya for example are more or less fine, Shelly are good but overpriced, in my opinion. I am also using Hue, which works great but costs a lot.
I am planning to revamp my whole IoT setup and Home Assistant and migrate from Docker running on top of RPi to a VM setup. I have a Sonoff ZigBee gateway and plan to try to add all devices to it.
Home Assistant is open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first. Powered by a worldwide community of tinkerers and DIY enthusiasts. Perfect to run on a Raspberry Pi or a local server. Available for free at home-assistant.io
This is probably the best list out there…specific recommendations in a category usually requires some googling, though.

Anything that will run ESPHome or Tasmota is a safe bet. The ESPHome website has a list of supported devices here, and there is a Tasmota devices repository on the Blakadder website similar to the Zigbee one.
